Using a shoe box that I covered with paper we played "straws in a box". This activity is a great fine motor activity, but also eye hand coordination. I cut the strays in various lengths and we put them "in the box". Pipe cleaners would work great for this activity also because you could incooperate matching the colors. Ours straws had some color strips and I was not sure if Adeline would notice them or not but she did.

I love this! What a great fine motor activity! And I really like how you circled the holes to make them more visual (and appealing)!
